# Assigning and Unassigning Users to Devices

### Overview

Once you setup a Google Workspace, Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) or SCIM integration, users will automatically be imported into Kandji every 4 hours. Once imported, users can be assigned to devices, allowing you to view all devices assigned to a specific user. You can find more information about syncing users from Google Workspace or Azure Active Directory [here](/v1/docs/user-directory-integration).

### Prerequisites

- Before you can assign users, you must [configure a directory integration](/v1/docs/scim-directory-integration) to import users for assignment.

### Assigning a User to a Device

1. Click **Devices** in the navigation menu.
2. Click the device you wish to assign to a user.
3. Click on **Edit device details**.
4. Click on **Edit user**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/0844b095-d720-4a7b-bb17-ec97d9bc6e41/Images/Documentation/zo0f9atdtxo-xn7lpghh-lufovanp3s0da.png)
5. **Type the name** you wish to assign to this device and click the **Assign** button.
6. The device will now display the user's name inside the user field.

### Viewing devices assigned to a user

1. **C**lick **Users** in the navigation menu.
2. Click on the **User** in the list to view devices assigned to them.

For more detailed information about taking action on devices, see the [Devices](/v1/docs/devices) section of our Knowledge Base.

### Remove an assigned user from a device

1. Login to Kandji and click **Devices** in the navigation menu.
2. **Click the device** for which you wish to remove the user assignment.
3. Click on **Edit device details**.
4. Click on **Edit user**.
5. Click on the **Unassign Device**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/0844b095-d720-4a7b-bb17-ec97d9bc6e41/Images/Documentation/e2rxjwam83w-vfpyrk00zw6lcp7wa5xbha.png)

### Considerations

- Assigning or unassigning users to devices may result in Library Item assignment changes if you are leveraging user group-based [Assignment Rules](/v1/docs/using-assignment-rules).
- Assigning users to devices may result in changes to profiles on the device if you are leveraging [Global Variables](/v1/docs/global-variables) in any profile fields.
